Long May You Run

2 miles on the track.  I took Saturday and Sunday off to rest my calf/lower leg.  I didn't feel well at all, this run was terrible so I cut it short.  I would have liked to have done 6, 4 minimum.  Oh well.

5.65 am miles.  Wrapped up my lower leg good and tight and took off.  51:23  9:06 ave.  

5.65 pm miles  50:34  8:57 ave.  No way was I going to try to go 10-13 like the good old days (three weeks ago).  Leg hurts, looks like I'm going cut my mileage for a while to allow this lower leg situation to get better.  I'm thinking I can still log 50 to 55 this week, hopefully go 60 next week and hold it there for another week or so.  We'll see, I just hope to get 11 in tomorrow. 

5.65 am miles 50:11 8:53 ave  leg felt a little better, it gave me hope, but still very sore.

5.65 pm miles 51:16  9:04 ave   much more sore in the afternoon.  I think I can hang with this plan for a while and just wait out the soreness.

5.65 am miles  49:45  8:48 ave  better this morning, actually felt like a runner.  Healing seam to be taking place.

5.65 pm miles  51:57  9:12 ave.  Hurting badly.  So much for feeling good this morning.  I thought I'd feel better than this, oh well, we'll see what tomorrow brings.

5.65 am miles.  Compared to how I felt yesterday afternoon I wondered if I'd ever be able to run again.  Had a pretty good run, felt like a runner, had many positive thoughts about upcoming races, increased mileage and putting this ache behind me.  I'm happy for no afternoon run today.
